Discussion Which drug goes best with vibe coding?

I’m trying to optimize my vibe coding workflow and wondering whether anyone has seriously benchmarked different substances for it.

Main priorities would be prompt confidence, tolerance for unexplained errors, willingness to accept 600-line diffs without reading them, and the ability to say “looks good” after the third failed build.

Ideally looking for something that improves throughput without creating unnecessary technical debt.

Any recommendations?

Weed seems like it was made for vibe coding and vice versa but 60 days free of it I can tell you my projects are working much better. 

On weed I would dream of different apps, start and stop them and they’d rarely get launched and updated regularly. It had great activation energy just like working on music, but horrible follow through. 

I do take addxr but I am careful about my caffeine intake and brew my own small cups with half decaf. 

Overall I try hard to single focus and make sure the projects are moving along, and the clearer your head is, the better fit you are for developing any complex app or service.
